Whip.

So i believe the social-grouping -that-is-not-known-as-hipsters anymore call them whips. Maybe. As for hipsters, what are they now? marshmallows? soft and white? who knows....but who CARES when you could get a Smokey and the Bandit cycling jacket....



Regardless, i was getting fed up with trying to get mudguards to mount on a 29er fixed gear running road tyres. Far too much space betwixt frame/fork/tyres etc. A zip tie nightmare....and a bit cumbersome too. I also want to get the RoShamBo back up and running as a fixed *off* road bike. So, for the last few months id been looking aimlessly around for an alternate town bike.

Damn if Brooklyn Machine Works didnt re release the gangsta track as a made in taiwan and slightly geometrically reworked beast that hit the nail right on the head.



Tokyo Fixed Gear in London Town got it in the post overnight and BAM! here we are....

Prolly need to drill out the back of the cluster fork to fit a recessed allen nut in for the calliper brake and i need to do some swapsies, build up a shimano xt M756 hub (front) with a 170mm solid axle and spacers to make a dishless fixed rear wheel when laced with a mavic a317 rim and it should be hitting the tarmacadam asap. Hey! if Brooklyn Machine Works are good enough for Danny Mac, they're good enough for me...
